Easy Places.

1t seems nothing but natural, says
the editor of the st. Louis Miller. for
every person, man or woman, to
think the position they occupy is just
a little bit worse than that of any
one else. And they imagine that if
they could only exchange places with
some one else, what relief 1t would
be. Much of the worry and fretting
In life is caused by desire to secure
an easy place. Success is only sb-
tanned by earnest effort. And this
Implies hard work of some kind.
And when you are doing hard work,
you certainly cannot be considered
az having found an easy place. 1t 10
those who do not make success that
are always on the lookout or hunt for
an easy place. And after they find
themselves in positions where little
earnest effort would considerably inn
prove their conditions rather than
make the effort they allow themselves
to make an easy place for their indi-
vidual comfort, and let the chance
slip. Many young man, in an eff
fort to find an easy place, has al
lowed opportunities to pass by which
if he would have taken them up and
added few years Of hard, we'll
directed labor, would have placed
him in condition where, if he de-
sired, he might take upon himself an
easy place.
=. One item should by no means be
overlooked in this. and that is that
many places are like the ones you are
occupying, that is, they are very der
ceivlng. Others imagine that you are
having o very easy time as compared
with theirs, aud they would gladly
exchange with you, while ut the
same time you are thinking the same
with them.
We often make our lot In life not
only harder, but considerably worse
than it really is, b, continually look
ing at the dark side. We try to see
all the drawbacks rather than trying
to better our condition all the while,
and this at least adds nothing to it.
The fact is, if life were all sunshine,
if we all secured what we might COM
slider as easy places, it is reFy doubt
full if we would appreciate it as fully
as we do our present blessings. Bet
ter wear out than rust out. Life can
be made much pleasanter il we would
try to make the best OF everything,
and then when we are able to better
ourselves, we are in condition to en-
joy better. It Is an impossihillty
that each and every one Of ua shauld
be able to SECURE y place that we
might consider as easy. Added to
this is the fact that much that We see
is decelving, and that if we fail to
find what we are seeking I'm making
q change, we are OILY breeding dis
content instead ofbeiterlng ourselves.
It is certainly to The iHteFest 81
every man to.beiter himself or his
condition when he can tlo sa honestly
This is what, 10 y certain extent, we
are all aiming to accomplish, but we
will not be able to reach this il, in.
stead of earnest, faithful work. we de-
vote our energies 10 seeking out and
obtaining an easy place.
